Yes I do give my boy massage, esp when he was btw a few days to 4 months old, before he knows how to turn over. It was the best time to massage.

After he becomes more mobile, it's a bit challenging.

As I'm a massage instructor, I applied my knowledge in massaging him so I didn't send him anywhere.

Massaging your babies is a great bonding experience btw mom & baby or dad & baby. It calms them, promotes better sleep, relieves colic and make them feel loved & secured.

my malay massage lady gave 2 free baby massage n taught me how to do it during those 2 sessions....

me n my maid take turns to massage everyday...once after he shower in e morning n 1 b4 bedtime :)
we started doing tt 1 week after he was born

he enjoys it v much...too much to wanna flip or crawl away anyway...when start he will jus lie there n enjoy....

i find tt he sleeps better...cos he started sleeping thru e night @ 3wks old....
actualli dunnid to go for special class....jus go library pick up a few books n try it out :) it's v fun :)

my boi has not been sick so far...his trips to PD so far are 'kiasu trips' cos me n hb panic then bring him over nothing much...opppss...so paiseh...
but dunno is e massage or is cos he is breastfed...

but many of my frens say he is v alert n smart for 7mths old...i his physical development is definitely much faster than bb's his age :)

overall i feel massage is v good...i enjoy it, my bb also enjoy....n i din experience any colic with my boi....he is generalli not fussy bb n easy to take care....slps on his own, dun need us to carry him all e time...dun need us to rock him or pat him to bed....

now i'll still do massage when he's co operative. Mostly his thighs and foot massage daily before bed. He loves it, can smile when i'm doing it.

My bbs love massages. I still give them massage now, esp my younger boy who is 2 this year. He'll always ask me to 'pok pok' him esp after his bath.

I am giving massage to my ds from birth... I heard that massage should be done correctly using fingers or palm for different places( to apply correct pressure). I watched Johnsons massage CD & I tried my best to do massage accordingly...
I use Olive oil, which is available in any cosmetic shop... Which is not cooller compared to other baby oils....
